12 Tags of 2016 - June

Hi all,

Ok, so the best laid plans and all that... As I said at the beginning of the year, I fully intended to blog all my 12 Tags this year, and Lo... First tag since March! Oh well, better late than never, no?

The June tag is a fab one, but it wasn't until I started looking though my dies that I realised there was a rather huge gap in my die collection. I didn't have much that could be considered masculine! Now I could have just grabbed a butterfly and gone with it of course, but I really wanted to stick to the masculine theme.
Luckily I had some potion bottle dies in my stash, so I decided to play with them.

I wanted to have a vintage grungy kind of look, and I think I achieved it. I do however, wish I'd chosen blue or green as the accent colour in the plaid, but I didn't think of it until the tag was done!

And just to prove I've not skipped any, here's April and May's tags too!

About Me

I started card making in the summer of 2012, and was soon completely hooked.
I adore vintage and distressed looks (Tim Holtz is my hero!), and have a not-so-healthy obsession with paper. In fact, I sometimes find it hard to actually *use* the paper pads I buy, as the paper is so pretty I just want to sit and look at it!
I have two kids, aged 16 and 13, the eldest shares the card making bug, the youngest loves it when I makes things for him.
I also have a husband who puts up with it, and glares at me whenever I spend large amounts of money on craft supplies! ;-)
